NIGERIAN SITUATION Disaster management in Nigeria is defined as
the “coordination & integration of all activities necessary to build, sustain, & improve the capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to & recover from threatening or actual natural or human induced disasters” (NDMF 2010 p1)
Organised disaster mgt in Nigeria dates back to 1906 when Fire Brigade was charged with the responsibility of battling fires, saving lives, protecting properties & responding to disasters (NDMF 2010)
NIGERIAN SITUATION contd.
Function initially ad-hoc & housed in offices of Head of State & State Governors (NDMF 2010)
1976 – National Emergency Relief Agency (NERA) in response to drought b/w 1972-1973
1990 – Inter-ministerial body to develop ways to reduce natural disaster risks in line with UN international decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (NMDF 2010).
1993 – Decree 119 hence scope of NERA expanded to all types of disaster & independence of NERA under the office of the president. (NMDF 2010)
NATIONAL DISASTER & RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (NDMF) Developed in 2010 to offer holistic approach to
managing disasters Participation from wide array of players including
Federal, State, & Local govt, CSOs, Private sector organisation.
Ensures efficient & effective disaster mgt for govt officials, community leaders, private organisations, CSOs & practitioners.

ORGANISATION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IN NIGERIA
NEMA – Lead agency for disaster management at Federal level with 6 zonal offices (Fagbemi 2011).
Established in March 1999 via act 50 SEMA & LEMA at state and local levels
respectively. All 3 charged with responsibility of developing
capabilities to prepare, prevent, respond to, & recover from disasters.
Others include but not limited to Military, Police, Para-military, & CSOs also disaster response units (NDMF 2010)
DISASTER RESPONSE 1st responders are community institutions such as
CBOs, FBOs, NGOs complemented by Emergency Management Volunteers (EMV).
More resources from SEMA & NEMA. Challenges include inadequate funding, inadequate
disaster education, difference in EM structure at state level, lack of collaboration among different levels of govt, corruption.
Currently, only 22 states have SEMA backed by law. About 6 Nigerian Universities have dev curricula in
risk reduction with Masters in risk mgt. Fagbemi 2011)

WORKABLE MODEL (USA) Emergency support functions form primary
mechanism of Federal response assistance. 12 in number.
Each ESF headed by a primary agency selected based on its authorities, resources & capabilities

relief materials Capacity to involve larger no of
volunteers esp from community More effective disaster & post disaster
medical relief & health services Large participation of community in
